McDonald’s Flipped Arches In Honor Of International Women’s Day Might Not Be The ‘W’ They Were Looking For

Read the original post:

In honor of International Women’s Day, one of the biggest fast food chains in the world turned their logo upside down in an effort to galvanize with women across the globe. But many are questioning the gesture as the company faces sexual harassment allegations from employees in the workplace and criticism over a fair, living wage. On March 8, McDonald’s will also change all logos on the company’s social media channels and 100 restaurants will have special “packaging, crew shirts and hats and bag stuffers,” Business Insider reports. One franchise in Lynwood, California gained national attention on Wednesday after it flipped the actual arch outside of the restaurant  ahead of the announcement, Business Insider reports. McDonald's has flipped their famous golden arches logo for #InternationalWomensDay via @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/rLkmGFvtl8 — TODAY (@TODAYshow) March 8, 2018 And their official Twitter account released content highlighting that six out of 10 restaurant managers are actually women. Today, we flip our Golden Arches to celebrate the women who have chosen McDonald's to be a part of their story, like the Williams family. In the U.S. we’re proud to share that 6 out of 10 restaurant managers are women. https://t.co/6z88OhjXpO pic.twitter.com/hXfOi3wWQf — McDonald's (@McDonalds) March 8, 2018 Many took to twitter to point out what they feel is hypocrisy, branding McDonald’s temporary action as watered-down, corporate feminism. Yes, in place of paying women fair wages, offering family leave, respecting their union rights or protecting poverty wage working women from sexual harassment @McDonalds is turning their “M” upside down. Women, what would you rather have? #IWD2018 . https://t.co/xCpr9u7wgw — Fight For 15 (@fightfor15) March 8, 2018 Others coined the term #McFeminism to get their point across and echoed the company’s need to make better strides in allowing employees to find access to union rights and paid family leave. This is hilarious. Keep your symbolic gesture about women's rights and pay your female (and male) workers a living wage. #McFeminism https://t.co/Cg5as2lkNa — Secular Talk (@KyleKulinski) March 7, 2018 McDonalds: In celebration of women we are flipping the arches upside down. Or you could give your employees better benefits. McD: Look it's a W! Maybe a living wage? Better family leave? A career path forward in the face of automation? McD: The W stands for women. — bogwolf (@truebe) March 7, 2018 Tell us what you think beauties, did McDonald’s get it right or miss the mark?

Lorde and Jack Antonoff: Dating?!

Posted on February 23, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

It’s been about six weeks since Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff broke up , and both parties have remained relatively mum on the cause of their split. Sure, they’ve made some vague remarks to the press, but we don’t really know what prompted to abruptly end their  Although we’re starting to get a rough idea of where it all went wrong… That’s Jack hanging out with singer and former Lena bestie Lorde. We’re not saying they’re definitely hooking up, but it’s worth noting that the amount of time Lorde’s been spending with Jack is inversely proportional to the amount of time she’s been spending with Lena. In other words, yeah, we basically are saying they’re hooking up. Jack and Lorde (real name Ella Yelich-O’Connor) claim that they’re just friends, but their recent behavior seems to tell a different story. For starters, the two of them spent the entirety of Grammy weekend together. Now granted, they’re frequent collaborators, so it made sense that they were seated next to each other at the ceremony. But partying with a friend of the opposite sex when you’re fresh from a high-profile breakup obviously sends a certain message. And onlookers say Jack and Lorde didn’t seem to mind that others were picking up on that message. But the clearest indication that Jack and Lorde are hooking up is that the two of them were recently spotted hanging out one-on-one in Auckland, in her native New Zealand. Antonoff played a show there with his band, but the fact that he decided to stay on in the farthest nether-regions of the planet just to spend a few more days with Lorde might speak volumes about their relationship. “There’s nothing going on between Ella and Jack,” one insider tells People magazine. “There’s not any type of romantic situation. They’re just friends — they really are just friends.” It sounds like the source here, really, really wants to believe there’s nothing romantic going on between Jack and Lorde. We wouldn’t be surprised if the insider went on to make a bunch of uncomfortable comments about Odell Beckham Jr . The source is Lena Dunham, is what we’re saying.

Jennifer Aniston: Devastated, Humiliated By Justin Theroux Split

Posted on February 21, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As you’ve likely heard by now,  Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux have called it quits after two and a half years of marriage. As is always the case when an A-list couple splits, there have been countless theories as to why Jen and Justin decided to go their separate ways. Some say Aniston wants to get back together with Brad Pitt . Others claim Justin never wanted to marry Jen in the first place. It may be quite some time before we know exactly what happened, but for now, accounts concur that Justin is the one who initiated the split, and geography played a major role in his decision. Yes, geography. It seems Justin just wasn’t willing to part ways with his beloved New York City, and Jen is too much of a West Coast girl to relocate. So how does Aniston feel about basically being dumped for a city? Not surprisingly, she’s less than thrilled about it. “They’ve been separated for two months now,” an insider tells E! News, “but were having intense issues for about eight months.”  “She really tried to make it work with him but the distance was a factor as he only wanted to live in N.Y.C. and there was no compromise with her.” The source adds: “Their lifestyles were completely incompatible, and ultimately Justin decided to leave.” It seems that though she and Justin were broken up for several weeks before they announced their split, Jen has been having an especially hard time since news of the breakup went public: “Jen was doing OK for a few weeks after Justin left, and then things got stirred up again when the announcement was made to the media,” the insider claims. “Adjusting to living by herself and not having Justin around,” the source adds. “She is used to the empty house since it’s been months now without him, but it’s still an uneasy feeling for her. She knows in due time she will feel tremendously better, but is really going through the motions right now.” Of course, this isn’t Jen’s first high-profile breakup, and those who know her best are confident she’ll pull through: “Jen knows she is strong and knows things will smooth over in time,” the insider continues. “She’s been through this before, so she is trying to lay low for now and knows it’s best if she doesn’t go out in public for awhile.” And just as she did when her first marriage ended, Jen has been drawing strength from the support of her Friends friends: “Courteney [Cox]’s been at her house many times, and has been by her side through it all,” says the source. “Many of her friends have known about this for months and knew it was coming. A lot of people didn’t think that Jen and Justin were a good match from the start, but ultimately supported her decision.” Guess they really will be there for her when the rain starts to fall. As for those rumors about Jen rekindling her romance with her first husband, the source says that while Aniston has reached out to Pitt in the months since her split, the actors have no intention of being anything other than friends. “Jen never talks about Brad,” the insider claims. “Rekindling is not even a conversation. She has always thought that chapter is sealed and so far in the past.” Like that’s gonna stop us from holding out hope!

Jennifer Aniston & Justin Theroux: Headed For Divorce Because of Brad Pitt?!

Posted on January 12, 2018 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Brad Pitt is a single man , having separated from Angelina Jolie back in September of 2016. His first wife, Jennifer Aniston, is very much not single, having married Justin Theroux in 2015. But that hasn’t stopped the tabloid press from reporting that the old flames are eager to rekindle their romance. Of course, for these two A-listers to get back together, that means the pesky C-lister getting in their way will need to be disposed of. Thus, gossip columnists the world over are employing the trick most often used by screenwriters of romantic comedies in which one half of the meet-cute pair is already taken. Yes, they’re leaning hard on the “Uh, her husband is a douche and they were already having problems before the hero entered the picture” narrative. According to Life & Style , Jen and Justin have spent most of the past year apart. The magazine claims they only recently reunited for a New Year’s Eve trip to Mexico … and they brought a huge group of friends along to make the situation less awkward. “They chose to go with friends during this particularly difficult time during their marriage. A week alone would’ve been too strained,”  one insider says. “Had they been alone, the insider suspects, they would’ve been dealing with some uncomfortable conversations. They felt it would be easier and more relaxed to have some friends come along.” The source adds that Aniston and Theroux have basically come to terms with the fact that their marriage is coming to an end, but they’re still trying to hide the truth from members of their inner circle. “The truth is that the marriage has been crumbling,” the insider adds. “It’s not make-or-break time for them and their marriage.” Of course, all of this couldn’t come at a worse time, as Aniston has reportedly fallen back under Pitt’s spell in recent months. “Brad and Jen have bonded like never before over the past year,” a friend of theirs tells In Touch . “And they’ve been helping each other through their respective troubles.” Look, we suppose there’s a possibility this is really happening, but it all sounds a little too close to what magazines like In Touch and Life & Style would want to happen for it to be entirely believable. The only thing this story is missing is Brad Ross-ing out on Jen and justifying banging Jolie with “We were on a break!” View Slideshow: 13 Reasons to Be Glad You Never Slept With Brad Pitt

Joy-Anna Duggar Due Date Is Being "Kept Private" By Family, Source Confirms

Posted on December 22, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Back in August,  Joy-Anna Duggar announced that she’s pregnant  and ever since, fans have been regarding her claims about her conception date with serious skepticism. According to Joy, she got pregnant just days after marrying Austin Forsyth . When she made her announcement, the 20-year-old newlywed stated that she was roughly three months along.  Fans cried foul and began speculating that Joy had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and was misleading the public in hopes of concealing that fact. To the theorists’ credit, there’s an awful lot of evidence to support that claim. Before their wedding, Joy-Anna and Austin admitted to breaking her family’s “courtship rules,” but did not go into detail with regard to the extent of their violation. (Joy’s family is so strict that they may have broken the rules simply by holding hands for too long.) So from the start, fans suspected Joy and Austin of defying her parents by engaging in premarital sex. The fact that Joy sported a sizable baby bump in her announcement photo only added fuel to the fire. In the months since, speculation has only grown, with several tabloid outlets speaking with doctors who examined photos and confirmed that Joy is further along than she claims . Now, we’re being presented with perhaps the most compelling evidence to date that the Duggars have something to hide, thanks to  a family insider who’s confirmed to Radar Online that Joy’s due date is being kept under wraps . “They don’t really want the due date shared,” the insider says.  “They prefer to keep it private.” Joy’s mother and several of her sisters and sisters-in-law have gotten pregnant in the public eye, and this is the first time that any of them has made any effort to keep their due date a secret. Earlier this week, we learned that Joy will not reveal the gender of her baby, and many fans believe the reason is that Duggar gender reveals are typically accompanied by dated sonogram photos. Obviously, if Joy is misleading fans about her date of conception, it would be difficult for her to post any such medical information without giving herself away. It’s impossible to say with absolute certainty that the Duggars are being less than truthful with regard to when Joy’s pregnancy began. But each new day seems to bring new evidence to that effect.

Kim Kardashian: FINALLY Ready to Divorce Kanye West?!?

Posted on December 20, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

As Kim Kardashian herself has confirmed, the reality star and Kanye West are expecting a third baby at some point in the next few weeks. The child will arrive via surrogate and the couple ought to be very excited about this blessed next step in their marital lives. Instead, however, a new report alleges that the couple is actually very sad… … because their marriage may be coming to an end. Sources tell rarely-reliable Star Magazine that Kardashian is thinking hard about breaking up with West and will likely file for divorce after her surrogate delivers the aforementioned baby. For what reason? Why would Kim do such a thing? It all goes back to Kanye’s mental breakdown in November of 2016, an episode from which he hasn’t really recovered. (Just think: when was the last time you heard a thing from the artist?) “Between his raging ego and mood swings, Kanye has been a total train wreck,” the insider tells Star, sadly adding: “Kim is stressed enough raising two kids and getting ready for the baby without Kanye dragging her down. “She’s tried to hang in there, but she just can’t take it anymore.” If this claim is true, it sounds as though the stars are waiting to announce the split until after the beloved Kardashian Christmas card comes out. A few of the photos in it actually feature Kanye playing with his kids. The divorce, if it goes through, “will be all-out war,” alleges Star, writing that Kim wants Kanye to sign a “mid-nuptial agreement” in order to protect her assets. Considering West’s rap revenue and all the money Kim earns from her many endeavors, the insider estimates that over $1 billion may be at stake in this split. Talk of a Kimye divorce spread throughout the Internet in early 2017. We were just a few months removed from Kim being robbed at gunpoint in Paris, followed by Kanye’s breakdown, and it appeared as if the pair would be unable to recover from these traumas. Alas, they have remained together and have actually enjoyed a rather quiet year. But that may change when the calendar flips. If Kim does go through with her divorce filing, it doesn’t mean she’ll be happy about it. She does still adore West, after all. “This decision is agony for her,” the source concludes. “She still loves Kanye, but their marriage may be over!”  Then again, of course, it may not be over. We’ve heard chatter of Kardashian wanting to divorce Kanye  before and the couple is still standing strong. When will we believe that the break-up is real? We’ll believe it when we see it, folks.

Tyler Baltierra: I Need Help, Too!

Posted on November 27, 2017 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra just can’t catch a break, huh? They’re both only 25 years old, and yet they’ve already been through more trauma than many people face in an entire lifetime. Right now, they’re going through a rough patch — Catelynn is staying in a treatment center in Arizona to deal with her anxiety and depression. Earlier this month, she announced via Twitter that she’d be checking into rehab, saying “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment.” Then, in an additional statement, she explained that “I’m taking the time I need right now to take good care of myself.” “On November 17th I thought of every way possible to commit suicide … from wrapping a belt around my beck to just running my car into an electric pole…’ “THANK GOD I have a support system and a HUSBAND and a DAUGHTER,” she continued. “Thank god I am self aware… I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better.” “Anyone feeling alone you ARE NOT ALONE! This world needs all of us! We are all here for a reason… Thank you for your support during this tough time,” she finished. After releasing that statement, she flew out to Arizona, accompanied by Tyler, and they got her checked into the treatment center. Since then, things haven’t exactly been easy. On Thanksgiving, Tyler shared a clip from the new season of Teen Mom OG and gushed about how beautiful Catelynn looked in it. He also wrote that ” It’s going to be a rough holiday without being able to kiss her & tell her how thankful I am for her, but we have a strong resilience crafted by our past, we got this!” As you can see, he’s freely admitting that he’s having a hard time without Catelynn — but it sounds like things may be even worse than he’s letting on. According to a source close to Catelynn and Tyler who spoke with Radar Online, things are so bad that Tyler is seeking out treatment of his own. “Tyler seemed beside himself” when Catelynn left for rehab, the source reveals. “He already has his next appointment for therapy scheduled. He’s super self aware so I know he’s going to be in therapy a lot.” Right now, the source says that Catelynn’s mother, April, is babysitting their daughter frequently “so Tyler can have some time to focus on himself.” “Their daughter will be OK and well taken care of,” the insider insists. This person also says that “everything will be OK” between Catelynn and Tyler, too. “He will help her get better and will let her know he isn’t going anywhere,” the source claims. So that’s a lot of information, huh? It sounds kind of vague — like Tyler could be seeking his own in-patient treatment, or like he’s just been setting up some appointments with a therapist. Whatever he decides to do, it’s probably a good idea. Although he hasn’t seemed to struggle with depression as much as Catelynn has lately, he still has a history with the illness. In one especially heartbreaking episode of Teen Mom OG, we learned that he tried to hang himself when he was just 12 years old — after the attempt, he said he had to walk around with rope burns on his neck for weeks. Considering that, plus his troubled history with his father, all the heartache that came from placing their first child for adoption …  Therapy could really do nothing but good for Tyler. Here’s hoping for the best for this precious little family. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Couples: RANKED From Worst to First!
